College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)

Assessment Home | CLAST Home

Important News

Effective July 1, 2009, the College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) will no longer be administered. Recent Florida legislation, Senate Bill 1676, repealed the use of the CLAST to measure the College-Level Academic Skills (CLAS) set and as a degree requirement for those undergraduates seeking associate in arts (AA), bachelor of arts (BA), or bachelor of science (BS) degree in Florida’s public colleges and universities.

All scores earned on the CLAST prior to July 1, 2009, will still be valid.

Students who still need to meet CLAS requirements after July 1, 2009, will still have opportunities other than the CLAST exam to do so. Please check your college’s or university’s Web site for more information on how to meet the CLAS requirements.

Test Schedule

The CLAST is administered in institutions authorized by the Department of Education to be test centers. Each year, regular administrations are scheduled for the first Saturday in October, the first Saturday in June, and the third Saturday in February. When the first Saturday in October is a religious holiday, the administration is conducted on the last Saturday in September. Alternate administrations are scheduled for the first Tuesday following every regular administration.

Institutions may begin the CLAST registration period at any time, since some institutions may need to register students in the spring for the fall administration. However, the close of registration must be uniform throughout the state. The final paper-based administration of the CLAST will be Saturday June 6, 2009 with an alternate administration on June 9, 2009.
